Different or same dress for matron and maid of honors

Ti'Anna, on June 10, 2019 at 10:40 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 65

Hey guys!!!!

Will your matron and maid of honor be wearing the same dress as the other bridesmaid or are your letting them stand out? Are you going with the same color and different style dress? Or completely different color dress for them?

I'm not sure what route I want to take with my girls Smiley sad


What are you guys doing?

    All of my bridesmaids are choosing their own style, each person also got their own color for an ombré type of look, similar to this photo.

    My MOH has the same dress but a different color than the BMs. The BMs are all in plum and the MOH will be in sangria/berry.

    My girls ordered their dresses from Azazie - I told them a color and asked that they buy floor-length dresses, but otherwise let them pick whatever they wanted. By pure coincidence, my MOH ended up deciding between a dress with a same-colored lacy bodice and a dress with short flutter sleeves (she ultimately went with the second), while the bridesmaids chose slightly plainer, sleeveless dresses, so she'll stand out at least a little!

    I let my maid of honor and all bridesmaids choose the style of dress they wanted, but kept the color the same.

    I wanted everyone in a completely different color. So in order to have some uniformity, they will all be wearing the same dress.
    I'm a big girl, so I chose a dress I felt would look ok and cover me comfortably. So my bigger bridesmaids will be in a flattering cut, and my more modest bridesmaids will be comfortable with what I chose too.

    My MOH is wearing a slightly different dress in the same color as the rest of the BM's. She asked and I told her it would be okay. Her dress is very similar so it isn't "in your face" different, but its just different enough to make her feel a little special.

    All of my girls chose their own style and they all wore the same color. I loved that it let them express themselves and choose something they were comfortable in but also look cohesive.

    I have 2 MOH and they will be in the same dress as everyone else but different colors, but only because I have every other bridesmaid in 2 different colors so they are alternating. This is the dress and colors we are using

    My maid of honor is wearing the same dress as the other bridesmaids. She is going to have different flowers than the other bridesmaids though.

    My MOH is probably wearing the same color as the bridesmaids. I don't really want to risk hurting feelings

    I have all of the girls wearing floor length chiffon dresses in two shades of purple. My maid of honor's dress has lace details on the skirt while the other girls all have plain skirts. So she kinda stands out, but it's subtle.

    I only had three and they all wore the same dress. I do really like the look of the same dress in different colors, or the same color and fabric in slightly different styles. You really can't go wrong no matter what you and your girls choose!
